HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has announced that Common Platform, a custom-made online case management system, has gone live in Bristol Crown and magistrates’ courts
Lexis®Library update: The technology, which digitally streamlines information for people involved in a criminal case from the point of arrest to the culmination, has already been established in Derby Crown and magistrates’ courts and Chesterfield magistrates’ courts.

It is designed to be used by the Crown Prosecution Service, police, defence professionals, court staff and other members of the justice system.
